I thought I was doin' GREAT when I first bought my truck.
The overhead said something like 22.
It was only after a week or so, that I noticed the read out was in liters LMAO.
A quick button punch and my tiny bubble was burst forever.

That's probably what he was doing....there's no way even the overhead was showing 26-27 around town unless it's liters or just not working right.
Guys, when my regular cab was stock i had gotten up to 23 mpg. It was on a 4 hour drive to Detroit. I didn't think my overhead was right, so i calculated it by hand, as well as using a gps.
Why in your first post did you say "Around Town", then your next post said 55mph on cruise?

LMAO, that reminds me of when I got my SRT-10. It read up on top, liters per mile and I pulled out onto the highway and looked up at it. 6.7 mpg. I'm like, wow I expected it to be bad, but good god!! Well then I looked down and say the reading of liters. I switched it over and was pleasantly suprised to see 21 mpg. Thank god.

I suspect you guys are correct,but my route home from work has about a 3 mile slight downhill grade and I have been messing around before and got the overhead to read 29.9 MPG in that stretch of road,this rapidly drops back to the nomal 15 or so when I get back on level ground though.
i used the 91 tune only once when i had the programmer. i dont know if it helped gas milage, but i will tell you this... when your truck has that much "get-up-and-go" your right foot is gonna slaughter the gas milage! after all, you cant spent "laughter" without slaughter!
